15.  Andrew Billings, DT – Baylor (6-1, 310) Projected Round – Top 20.  Andrew Billings has the ability to be not just a run stuffing defensive tackle but also an outstanding play maker on the defensive front.  His strenght allows him to tie up interior run blockers for others to make plays.  But also has the kind of quickness and agility to allow him to penetrate into the offensive backfield to wreak havoc.    LW #

14.  Jarran Reed, NT – Alabama: (6-3, 312) Projected Round – Top 20.  Jarran Reed is one of the top nose tackle prospects in the 2016 NFL draft and he could help any NFL defensive line immediately.  However, I don’t think he’s just a nose tackle prospect.  I think Reed could play a five-technique defensive end in a 3-4 defense and excel at it.  He’s just coming into his own physically and I think Reed could end being the best of an outstanding group of defensive tackles in this draft.    LW #

13.  Shaq Lawson, DE – Clemson: (6-3, 269) Projected Round – Top 15. Perhaps the top 4-3 defensive end in the draft.  Shaq Lawson isn’t just an edge rusher, although he’s a good one.  He’s very stout against the run as well.  Having the strength to hold his position against blockers and disengage to make plays.  Lawson also has the athleticism to play as a 3-4 outside linebacker also.   LW #
